It's a matter of opinion. The Egyptian's didn' t spread out an conquered. They control and defended their kingdom. Which in comparison to others like Nubia, was kinda small,

But again, it's a matter of opinion.

Well, the Mayan is more of a civilization than an actual empire. They didn't really conquer anything. They just prospered until their civilization was taken over by Spaniards, I believe.

The ottoman Empire,  it was founded in 1299, and declined in 1923, right after WWI. At it's height it sacked the byzantine empire, and it's expanded until it was Stopped by the spanish. ( yay us!) .

Japan did fear the US...thats why they tried to destroy our entire fleet in one fell swoop...Germany didnt want the US to get involved in WWII either. Also the Middle East isnt afraid of us because they see death in honor of thier religion noble. Doesnt mean we don't use threats and coercion to maintain our power.

The French Empire had the best general in history as far as armies go. Napoleon was a military genius.

Depends on who's talking about it. If it's someone like me who actually is taking a big interest in Roman History lately, then I won't be overrating it. I would be admiring their achievements and feel like I should defend it's honor.

Egyptian art, sculture, and architecture is as great but honestly overall thier empire was pretty weak in comparison to some of the others. Thier building was impressive, but thier military, area conquered, and inluence on the region are not in the same league as some other empires.

That's basically my point.

Roman Empire at it's Greatest.
Roman Empire at it's Greatest.
 I believe this was 117 AD."

The French nor the British expanded their "Empire" by Military Force. They used Diplomacy and Colonization. Spain did the same thing. "Colonization". Another word for "We are taking over your country... the nice way..." ;)

Namely by paper...

"

The Ottoman Empire was raised by Osman Gazi who is believed to be a descendant of the Mongols. The Mongol Warlord, Hulagu Khan took over and destroyed two of the capitals of Islam. Baghdad one of them. Osman was actually born right after the invasion and victory of the Mongols. As for the Spanish... They were at one point the most powerful Navel Empire.  And if you think of it.. The reason why the Ottoman Empire lasted for so long was due to it's faith... But if you count Spain, France, Britin and the rest of the western civilization.... They are still basically ROME and Greece only on the Neo format due to the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox faith.

Egyptian and French are my favorite... Does that make them the greatest? No.
                                                              Does that mean I don't really care for arguments? Yes.

Napoleon was a tactical genius. (accidently deleted my last post)


But the French were completely owned by Germany so quickly because France's defenses were too static, and Germany changed warfare by using the Blitzkrieg, so the French forces didn't have the time to react before being completely owned.

The British, French, and Russian/Soviet Empires were the greatest.  Russia almost Got Huge chunks of Northern China, but Britain stopped China from selling it's land.

Random question: Why is it that people say that the french suck at warfare, or just plain suck and should surrender? That pisses me off for 2 reasons. 1: I'm french. 2: The french had one of the greatest empires in the world and were a rival power to Britain back in the Medieval ages.

Well, at least you know exactly what you are. I gotta make a speech about what I am. And explain how and why I prefer certain ones over others, lol. Sometimes, I wish I was just those 4. To be honest I'm 6 things if my grandmother is correct. I take great pride in my heritage and the 2 I normally focus on is the French and Italians. By the way, what are you?
